Ravens selected Alabama TE Josh Cuevas with the No. 173 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Cuevas (6’3/245) worked his way up the college football ladder, spending two seasons at FCS Cal Poly before a one-year layover in Washington. He arrived at Alabama in 2024 and proceeded to catch 53 passes in 25 games. Good, if not great, production for a size ‘tweener. A potential future H-back or fullback, Cuevas is lauded for his blocking work. Throwing haymakers out in front of the running back could end up Cuevas’ NFL calling, though NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has praised his receiving upside, saying he “pairs burst/route knowledge to compete against man coverage over the first two levels and is a reliable target in traffic.” Cuevas is a Day 3 talent with some long-term upside.
